Out of memory and no killable processes...
Kernel panic - not syncing: System is deadlocked on memory

An OoM panic was reported, there were only native processes which are
non-killable as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.

After looking into the dump, I've found the dma-buf system heap was
trying to allocate a huge size. It seems to be a signed negative value.

dma_heap_ioctl_allocate(inline)
| heap_allocation = 0xFFFFFFC02247BD38 -> (
| len = 0xFFFFFFFFE7225100,

Actually the old ion system heap had policy which does not allow that
huge size with commit c9e8440eca61 ("staging: ion: Fix overflow and list
bugs in system heap"). We need this change again. Single allocation
should not be bigger than half of all memory.
